Title: Properties of the X(3872)

Conference · · J.Phys.Conf.Ser.9:72-74,2005
OSTI ID:15017281

X(3872) discovery was confirmed with the CDF II detector in {bar p}p collisions. They measure its mass to be 3871.3 {+-} 0.7 {+-} 0.4 MeV/c{sup 2}. The source of the X state in the large CDF sample is resolved by studying their vertex displacement. They find 16.1 {+-} 4.9 {+-} 2.0% comes from decays of b-hadrons, and the remainder from prompt sources: either direct production or by decay of (unknown) short-lived particles. The mix of production sources is similar to that observed for the {psi}(2S) charmonium state.
